Breaking news - Tamils lay siege to Parliament

Noise and excitement outside at 10.00am. The Tamil protesters in Parliament Square have broken out of their two week confinement and have rushed the gates of Westminster Palace. The gates are closed but from out vantage point here on the third floor of the press gallery we can see the stand off. It's noisy, not violent but it has stopped the traffic in central London.
